JUPUARY 2025 CHECKER IS LIVE

It’s the most wonderful time of the year - Jupuary is nearly here!

Jupuary is our annual airdrop designed to Grow the Pie. Our goal is to send a gift to qualified users, invite them to contribute their ideas through governance, and continue expanding the best DAO in crypto.

The process of getting to this Jupuary was itself historic. For the first time ever, we raised the passing threshold to 70% of votes. Jupuary only works if it's a unifying event, and we knew we needed a supermajority of the community on board before taking any steps forward.

In the first vote, that threshold was not reached. But thanks to the brand-new Verified Feedback system, we were able to account for the thoughts of real voters and reshape the proposal for the 2nd round of voting.

Not only did that vote pass, it passed with a stunning 87% of the community in favor!

For anyone watching at home, this is what meaningful governance looks like.

Now, with a unified community, tens of thousands of pieces of feedback, and hundreds of hours of community discussion, we are ready to share the structure of Jupuary 2025.

// New Year, New Approach
Last year’s Jupuary was wildly successful in setting the foundation for the JUP DAO. We airdropped 1 billion tokens to 955,000 wallets, including every wallet who had used Jupiter, bot or not.

But this year’s Jupuary will be very different, because the Jupiter community is now very different.

Last year, we had a single product (Swap). Now, we have a full portfolio of products that are among the best on Solana. As a result, we’ve more than 10x’d the number of users and more than 50x’d our total volume relative to last year.

With so many more users doing so much more volume, we have to change the structure of Jupuary. If our goal is to invite active users to the DAO, we need a compelling invitation. And the invitation will only be compelling if the size of the airdrop is meaningful.

To do this, we are instituting qualifying thresholds, stronger anti-sybil measures, and Swap Scores that take into account a range of variables (more on that later).

To put it bluntly: not everyone is going to get an airdrop this year, and many qualified wallets will get a smaller drop as compared to last year.

But the ~2m wallets that do receive the airdrop will be more likely to be real cats, more likely to participate in DAO governance, and more likely to help us accelerate towards a decentralized future.

And when it’s all said and done, Jupuary 2025 will be the largest qualified user airdrop in history.

// High Level Structure
We’re dividing the airdrop into three high-level categories this year:

1/ Users. The fuel that powers the Jupiverse. Users who have gotten value out of Jupiter products, seen our ethos in action, and care about the future of Jupiter products are the basis of Jupuary.

2/ Stakers. Our longest-term supporters. They form the heart of the Jupiverse. By including them, we give more governance power to those who have demonstrated belief in the future of Jupiter.

3/ Carrots. Based on community feedback, we felt it was important not to deploy all of Jupuary at once. A portion of the approved $JUP will go towards incentivizing Jupuary recipients to stake/hold their airdrop, while another portion will be used to run growth campaigns to bring more users to Jupiter.

Since growing the DAO is the primary focus of Jupuary, and because the number of users is an order of magnitude more than stakers, Users will receive the vast majority of the airdrop - 440m out of the 700m JUP.

To pay respect to the different types of users, we will break this category down into two sub-groups - Swap Users and Expert Traders. Swap Users engage with Jupiter Swaps, either via https://t.co/fKYZ5XWsKU or through our API integrations (e.g. through Phantom). Expert Traders use the other Jupiter products - Perps, LO, DCA, VA, and Ape - to execute more sophisticated trades.

At the same time, Stakers have been critical to the success of the DAO so far, and also merit inclusion in Jupuary. We want to ensure they have more governance power, given their long-term alignment with the Jupiverse. They will receive 60m tokens out of the 700m JUP.

And finally, we have the Carrots. This bucket will power programs that encourage more people to actively use Jupiter, contribute to the community, and stake their JUP. In total, 200m out of 700m tokens - will be set aside for Carrots.

Let’s get into the weeds.

// Swap Users
This year, we’re going with a tier-based approach to user airdrops. This is for a simple reason: power laws.

The top 10% Swap Users (more than $8k in volume) were responsible for 99% of the total swap volume, and the top 1% of Swap Users (more than $200k in volume) were responsible for 97% of the total swap volume. If we distributed linearly, everyone would receive .0033 JUP per $1 swapped, and a very small group of people would receive nearly all the JUP. This is counter to our primary goal of growing-the-pie, so tiers were the best option.

Based on feedback from awesome community members like @marinonchain and JUPWhale, we knew it was important to create multiple tiers at the lower levels. Smaller traders are an important growth area for Jupiter - if we can invite them into the DAO and make them feel appreciated, they are more likely to increase their usage and contribute their time to the DAO.

We also received feedback from people like @lochiejarvis201 and @Jeanlucbb0 that the tier structuring itself was important. The tiers needed to be standardized in a way that made it easy for everyone to understand and get excited about the airdrop. For that reason, we’re primarily relying on simple tier intervals at round numbers.

Many community members - like @_asimsy and @Crypto_Minion - also flagged the importance of removing sybils and bots from the airdrop. Including them would skew the qualifying amounts for tiers and would take JUP away from the earnest users we wanted to reward. To remove sybils and bots, we removed all wallets that:

- Traded for less than 3 weeks. These wallets weren’t dedicated Jupiter users, regardless of their volume.

- Had a 50+% failure rate for sending transactions on Solana (a dead giveaway that you run on code instead of food)

- Exclusively conducted rapid circular transactions (from token A to token B to token A again). These circular transactions are typical for arbitrage, rather than actual trading.

We identified 750,000+ wallets (!!) that fell into these categories. But given the sheer scale of Jupiter usage - more than 10m wallets - it is possible that some real users accidentally get labeled as sybils or bots. Don’t worry! If you were incorrectly labeled, you’ll have 3 months to appeal the decision and receive your Jupuary allocation.

Finally, we knew we couldn’t airdrop based purely on volume alone. This would be too easily gamable by sybils and bots. So created a Swap Score to give a more fine-tuned picture of Swap User behavior.

To do so, the team (particularly @9yointern, @YodaHeld, and @notawizard) invested ENORMOUS amounts of time and energy. To build the Swap Score, we had to look at literally hundreds of millions of transactions made via Jupiter, normalize them all to the USD value of the tokens at the time, and then calculate the swap score with a variety of inputs.

If that sounds easy, let me assure you: it was not.

But the effort was worth it in order to meet the Jupuary goals. Here’s how the Swap Score works:

- All transactions over $5 are counted towards your Swap Score. Transactions below this amount are frequently (but not always) bots of one kind or another.

- Volume from sol-to-sol swaps (e.g. jupSOL <> SOL) is discounted heavily. These trades have very limited risk and were commonly used by farmers. However, there are many organic traders doing these types of trades, so we didn’t want to exclude them entirely.

- Volume from stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps (e.g. USDC<>USDT) is discounted very heavily. Daily swapping of stablecoins was a common farming technique which we wanted to avoid, without fully removing the legitimate cases from user volume.

- Volume for all other trades (e.g. JUP <> USDC) were counted at 100% of their nominal volume.

With that said, here are the final Swap User tiers:

But that’s not all! We’re also creating a special Swap Consistency Bonus. If you swapped in at least 8 months of the past year, you will get a bonus of 25 - 500 JUP, based on your tier. This bonus aims to reward our most loyal users, who are also the users most likely to understand the Jupiter mission and be excited about governance going forward.

// Expert Traders
Expert Traders are a major part of Jupiter’s growth, trying out new products and giving us feedback on more advanced product lines.

As mentioned, there are a significantly smaller number of Expert Traders in this Jupuary - roughly 270k wallets. But these wallets pay fees for product usage and contribute heavily to Jupiter’s volume and community. For that reason, they will receive a substantial airdrop of 70m JUP.

The tiers for Expert Traders are created by looking at a combination of volume and individual trade sizing. After all, a $1m trade on JUP Perps costs more in fees and has a fundamentally different profile than a $10 trade. After running extensive analysis and working with the community’s feedback, the final tiers are:

Btw, if you are both a Swap User and an Expert Trader, you will receive a part of both allocations. Lucky you 🥳

// Stakers
Stakers of $JUP are the core of the Jupiverse. Without their long-term support, ideas, and energy, the JUP DAO would not be the most active DAO on Solana. By including Stakers in the Jupuary airdrop, we show appreciation to our long-term supporters and give them even more of a say in Jupiter governance. We set the total allocation here at ~60m, enough to provide a meaningful reward while still leaving allocation to focus on growing the pie.

Importantly, we didn’t just look at your stake during the snapshot. After all, you might have staked, unstaked, moved wallets, etc. Instead, we looked at your time-weighted stake.

In short, we took 2 snapshots every month of the past year, averaged your amount of stake throughout the year, and then compared that to the total amount of time-weighted stake. Simply put, those who staked more JUP for longer periods of time will receive the largest allocations.

For Stakers, a linear-airdrop will be used to accurately reward those who demonstrated the most alignment by staking their tokens. Based on the total amount of time-weighted stake, you will receive roughly .082 JUP per 1 time-weighted JUP staked.

But the gift to stakers doesn’t end there.

// Staking Airdrop Bonuses
All stakers are important, but there are two groups that deserve special love: Super Voters and Super Stakers.

Super Voters are in the top 10% of the most active voters. For this Jupuary, that includes anyone who voted on 13 or more proposals. Active community governance is essential for Jupiter’s high-growth future, and Super Voters will receive a bonus allocation for their consistent contribution. This ends up being roughly .106 JUP for every 1 JUP of time-weighted stake.

Super Stakers, on the other hand, are those who have never attempted to unstake their JUP (as of Jan 11th). These folks are the definition of long-term aligned. Naturally, we want to ensure more JUP ends up in the hands of these kinds of people, and as a result they too will receive a special bonus allocation. This ends up being roughly .126 JUP for every 1 JUP of time-weighted stake.

The best part? These rewards stack together. If you staked all year, voted on 13+ proposals, and never tried to unstake, you will receive roughly .313 per 1 JUP of time-weighted stake.

Remember though, since we’re time-weighting the stake, you shouldn’t just multiply these numbers by your current amount of stake. You may receive more or less, depending on your exact time-weighted stake.

// Carrots
The community was unified in their belief that we needed to set aside a portion of Jupuary to fuel growth of Jupiter products. After all, the primary way people joined the DAO was by using the products first. Hence the idea of Carrots was born. Plus, cats love carrots (i think).

200m JUP will be set aside as carrots for ongoing participation in the Jupiverse and to accelerate future growth. It will not be distributed alongside the User/Staker airdrop in January, and instead be allocated over the course of the year.

The Carrots pool will be used for multiple purposes. First, some will be used to encourage airdrop recipients to claim and stake via Jupiter Mobile. Second, some will be used to handle any appeals. Third, some will go towards Good Cats, those who contributed significantly to the Jupiverse over the past year. Finally, some will remain available for future Alignment and Growth programs.

We’ll have more details about the Jupiter Mobile bonuses and the appeals process in the coming days.

Note that Carrot allocations are not going to be presented in the Checker, as they will come later in the year.

// Claiming Your Jupuary Airdrop
For the first time ever, we're introducing Jupiverse Profiles - a unified identity system for the entire Jupiter ecosystem.

Creating your profile is simple: just link your email address and connect your wallets. This streamlined process allows you to manage and view your airdrop allocations across all your wallets in one convenient dashboard.

Importantly, you are going to receive an airdrop on a per-wallet basis. Linking wallets will have no effect whatsoever on your total allocation. We are not going to sum your scores from all wallets - we just want to make it easy for you to see all of your allocations in one place.

But the vision behind Jupiverse Profiles extends far beyond just airdrop management. It's a foundational step in growing and strengthening our community. By creating a cohesive identity system, we can better understand and engage with our community members, connecting the Jupiverse more deeply than ever before.

Going forward, your Profile will serve as your central hub for everything Jupiter-related: from airdrops and Good Cats applications to future product launches and community initiatives. Keep an eye out at Catstanbul for more details on how this is going to be used going forward.

By creating a Profile, you're not just making your Jupiter experience more convenient - you're becoming part of a more connected and dynamic Jupiverse.

// What Happens Next
Today, you can create your Profile and see your allocations. Next week, we’re going to launch the Jupuary airdrop before Catstanbul begins.

To say it plainly: this Jupuary will be the biggest airdrop yet. If we are successful, we will create more power users, cement $JUP as one of the most important tokens in crypto, and turn the Jupiverse into a cultural force that spreads our core values.

The first Jupuary set the foundations for the DAO, this second Jupuary will bootstrap its widespread adoption. However, the third Jupuary will not look like either of the prior two. To understand why, you’re just going to have to come to Catstanbul 😉

J4J.

Hello, @PrimordialAA I am from Debank, and I was giving away a token that I created as a joke. Now, someone has paid 0.5 ETH, and everyone who received tokens from me has been marked as Sybil. Do I understand correctly that the person who paid will receive 10 percent of all drops that people could have received? Since this is Debank and each drop comes with a badge, all these accounts are now marked as Sybil. People have been working on their wallets for years, and now, because of one dishonest person, they are all marked as Sybil? This is at the very least unfair. The wallet from which I sent my token is: 0x65c76A684dBFd773BAB8a7463E7498686BaFD833
